Flagged

In this project for Digital Photography in Design, the goal of the assignment was to take photos that both followed a theme and used the technique of blurring the background of the image. This project explored construction flags and what those flags were ultimately flagging. Each image was processed in Lightroom and has a custom caption to enhance the theme of the series.

Set against the backdrop of a purple house, XcelEnergy marks it’s territory in this neighborhood and in this house

Intertwined around the picket fence, these bright flags stand in contrast to the tree bark in the background

Sprinkled through this field, colorful flags exhibit all of the utility lines that have been placed for the new construction in the area

Surrounding the temporary stairs of this new house, a series of flags delineate the many utilities needed in new construction

Signifying something more than a utility line below the ground, this flag is highlighted in a sea of orange flags and grass

Dotted through the field, these flags stand out like little the embers of a dying fire, each leading to a different utility line below
